Jehovah Speaks, Let Israel Hear

¹Jehovah speaks, let Israel hear,
Let all the earth rejoice and fear,
While God's eternal Son proclaims
His sovereign honours and his names:

²"I am the last, and I the first,
The Saviour God, and God the just;
There's none beside pretends to shew
Such justice and salvation too.

³"Ye that in shades of darkness dwell,
Just on the verge of death and hell,
Look up to me from distant lands,
Light, life and heaven are in my hands.

⁴"I by my holy Name have sworn,
Nor shall the word in vain return,
To me shall all things bend the knee,
And every tongue shall swear to me.

⁵"In me alone shall men confess
Lies all their strength and righteousness;
But such as dare despise my Name,
I'll clothe them with eternal shame.

⁶"In me the Lord, shall all the seed
Of Israel from their sins be freed,
And by their shining graces prove
Their interest in my pardoning love."
